steve wozniak.jpgFeel like you don’t know enough about that lovable prankster and Apple co-founder Steve “Woz” Wozniak? Knowledge@Wharton, the online business journal of the über-prestigious Wharton School has published an in-depth interview with Wozniak that covers the past, present and future, as well as his relationship with Steve Jobs,
his views on artificial intelligence, family, and Mercedes-Benz.

It’s no surprise Woz comes off as a genuine, caring guy with an honest love for engineering, innovation and helping people. The interview also touches on some interesting bits of Apple related history you might not be aware of had you not read his book iWoz (did you know that Steve Jobs stiffed Wozniak out of more than half of his earnings for his development of Breakout for Atari back in the day? Bad, Steve! Bad!)

All in all, it’s a quick and engaging read that will give you a good idea of the roots—or should I say seed—of Apple.
